It said the open-source software, called Chrome OS, would be available in the second half of next year. Read more for a quick observation on the announcement.

It's interesting because for sure it won't be "yet another Linux-based OS".
According to what they write, the whole operating system will be a proxy to Web so you basically have a tiny container which will bring you online, where you do most of your actions.
Yet again Google is betting on network speed. Great for netbooks but it seems a waste of resources for other computers.
Anyway, I'm very curious to see it even if they clearly stated it will just be a window over the Web. "For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies.".
